| 3 | 4.26 (no standalone release) |
3 | TODO: for next ABI/API change, consider moving EV__IOFDSSET into io->fd instead and provide a getter. |
|
|
4 | TODO: document EV_TSTAMP_T |
|
|
5 | |
|
|
6 | 4.32 (EV only) |
|
|
7 | - the 4.31 timerfd code wrongly changed the priority of the signal |
|
|
8 | fd watcher, which is usually harmless unless signal fds are |
|
|
9 | also used (found via cpan tester service). |
|
|
10 | - the documentation wrongly claimed that user may modify fd and events |
|
|
11 | members in io watchers when the watcher was stopped |
|
|
12 | (found by b_jonas). |
|
|
13 | - new ev_io_modify mutator which changes only the events member, |
|
|
14 | which can be faster. also added ev::io::set (int events) method |
|
|
15 | to ev++.h. |
|
|
16 | - officially allow a zero events mask for io watchers. this should |
|
|
17 | work with older libev versions as well but was not officially |
|
|
18 | allowed before. |
|
|
19 | - do not wake up every minute when timerfd is used to detect timejumps. |
|
|
20 | - do not wake up every minute when periodics are disabled and we have |
|
|
21 | a monotonic clock. |
|
|
22 | - support a lot more "uncommon" compile time configurations, |
|
|
23 | such as ev_embed enabled but ev_timer disabled. |
|
|
24 | - use a start/stop wrapper class to reduce code duplication in |
|
|
25 | ev++.h and make it needlessly more c++-y. |
|
|
26 | - the linux aio backend is no longer compiled in by default. |
|
|
27 | - update to libecb version 0x00010008. |
|
|
28 | |
|
|
29 | 4.31 Fri Dec 20 21:58:29 CET 2019 |
|
|
30 | - handle backends with minimum wait time a bit better by not |
|
|
31 | waiting in the presence of already-expired timers |
|
|
32 | (behaviour reported by Felipe Gasper). |
|
|
33 | - new feature: use timerfd to detect timejumps quickly, |
|
|
34 | can be disabled with the new EVFLAG_NOTIMERFD loop flag. |
|
|
35 | - document EV_USE_SIGNALFD feature macro. |
|
|
36 | |
|
|
37 | 4.30 (EV only) |
|
|
38 | - change non-autoconf test for __kernel_rwf_t by testing |
|
|
39 | LINUX_VERSION_CODE, the most direct test I could find. |
|
|
40 | - fix a bug in the io_uring backend that polled the wrong |
|
|
41 | backend fd, causing it to not work in many cases. |
|
|
42 | |
|
|
43 | 4.29 (EV only) |
|
|
44 | - add io uring autoconf and non-autoconf detection. |
|
|
45 | - disable io_uring when some header files are too old. |
|
|
46 | |
|
|
47 | 4.28 (EV only) |
|
|
48 | - linuxaio backend resulted in random memory corruption |
|
|
49 | when loop is forked. |
|
|
50 | - linuxaio backend might have tried to cancel an iocb |
|
|
51 | multiple times (was unable to trigger this). |
|
|
52 | - linuxaio backend now employs a generation counter to |
|
|
53 | avoid handling spurious events from cancelled requests. |
|
|
54 | - io_cancel can return EINTR, deal with it. also, assume |
|
|
55 | io_submit also returns EINTR. |
|
|
56 | - fix some other minor bugs in linuxaio backend. |
|
|
57 | - ev_tstamp type can now be overriden by defining EV_TSTAMP_T. |
|
|
58 | - cleanup: replace expect_true/false and noinline by their |
|
|
59 | libecb counterparts. |
|
|
60 | - move syscall infrastructure from ev_linuxaio.c to ev.c. |
|
|
61 | - prepare io_uring integration. |
|
|
62 | - tweak ev_floor. |
|
|
63 | - epoll, poll, win32 Sleep and other places that use millisecond |
|
|
64 | reslution now all try to round up times. |
|
|
65 | - solaris port backend didn't compile. |
|
|
66 | - abstract time constants into their macros, for more flexibility. |
|
|
67 | |
|
|
68 | 4.27 Thu Jun 27 22:43:44 CEST 2019 |
|
|
69 | - linux aio backend almost completely rewritten to work around its |
|
|
70 | limitations. |
|
|
71 | - linux aio backend now requires linux 4.19+. |
|
|
72 | - epoll backend now mandatory for linux aio backend. |
|
|
73 | - fail assertions more aggressively on invalid fd's detected |
|
|
74 | in the event loop, do not just silently fd_kill in case of |
|
|
75 | user error. |
|
|
76 | - ev_io_start/ev_io_stop now verify the watcher fd using |
|
|
77 | a syscall when EV_VERIFY is 2 or higher. |
|
|
78 | |
|

79 | 4.26 (EV only) |
